PuroSlam NPS Finals

It’s the pinnacle of the most under-appreciated competition you’ve never heard of — that one where drunken poets voice their feelings and audience members score them accordingly, biases and all. With enough whooping, hollering and heckling to go ‘round, PuroSlam prides itself on being one of the rowdiest poetry slams in existence. Metaphorically duking it out for the past seven months, the crew’s top 10 poets will face off Tuesday for a spot on PuroSlam’s team at the National Poetry Slam in Oakland, California in August. Delight at the rivalries and bask in the revelry.
